I'm using an Emac running 10.3. Over the past year the computer has been getting progressively slower. I ran some system utility programs which suggested that all of the hardware was working properly so I decided to take on the pain in the behind process of backing up all of my files and...

I'm having a problem using my network to transfer files between a Mac and a PC. I've managed to set up a folder on the desktop of the PC that shows up in the network menu of the Mac, and I have no problem transferring from the PC to the Mac. On the other hand when I try to transfer files from...

This afternoon I'll be troubleshooting my computer illiterate brother's computer. When using XP where can I find a list of the programs that automatically start running on startup, and will I be able to remove programs from that list? Thanks

Now that I've got my Mac up and running if it's possible I would like to set up a network that would let me access the files on the PC with the Mac. I was sitting here dreading the thought of burning the 80gb worth of files that are on my old computer to CD Roms and figure there has to be an...

On a few of the websites that I've visited my Mac refuses to acknowledge my clicking on a certain link. When I tried to leave a comment on a friend's blog, use the click here to see the messages that have been posted in response to you since your last visit link on another site, and leave a...

After spending a while debating whether the operating system on my new computer should be XP or Vista I've decided to go way out in left field and get a Mac mini. The last time I used an Apple computer was playing Oregon Trail in jr high so my information is a bit out of date. My top priority is...

I bought liens on a few pieces of property at a local tax sale. It will be about a year before the lien comes due and I can petition the court to have the properties transfered to my name but between now and then I was thinking that it would be a good idea for me to form a corporation of some...

My five year old computer that's running Windows ME is dying a slow painful death. Thanks to advice that I've received here at HTF I've decided to select my new system from Dell's refurbished pile. After price important factors on which system to buy are RAM (at least one GB preferably two)...

This is quite possibly the most addictive PG rated site that I've happened upon over the past decade. Just type in a last name in the blank and it will tell where it ranks in popularity. I came in second place :) http://www.pbs.org/cgi-registry/pov/...t?name=johnson

My employer is about to auction off some surplus computer hardware. The catch is that that the hard drives will be wiped of any and all software. What would I have to buy to get one of these systems up and running? While pricing new copies of Windows XP they all seem to have a disclaimer stating...

Yesterday I was in Fishers Indiana with some time to kill so I stopped by Fry's Electronics. The visit was disappointing. While there was lots of nice equipment in the store the presentation was as bad as I've ever seen. I've been thinking about upgrading the sound system in my truck so the...

I'm trying to expand my poker knowledge base before my friend from work throws his next poker party. I've played hold em online a thousand times and a couple of times more with real cards. I want to have the ability to approximate the odds of winning a hand based on the number of players at the...

Ignore the calendar, this is not an April's Fool. A rash of oven-door thefts may be linked to a recent case in which a woman bought what she thought was a flat-screen television, only to discover that the package held an old oven door, police said. :D...

I have in my possession what most likely is a counterfeit money order. Someone responded to my rental listing by claiming to be in Europe but from Saudi Arabia. He's going to be staying in my town and would like to rent my house sight unseen. The deal was his dad would send me a money order to...

About a month ago I was in some random video game store checking out the coming soon list and happened upon the coolest thing ever, intellivision lives. I've been salivating at the thought of getting my hands on 60 classic games for the bargain price of $20. The release date has come and gone...

For a couple of weeks now every time I try to load Yahoo Games the CPU locks up on me and I have to manually hold in the power button to restart. I've played plenty of games without having a problem but something has changed. I ran my anti viral program and came up with nothing. My second guess...

I bought a domain name and while I'm supposed to use FTP to create the site I can't make heads or tails of it. Can anybody suggest a program that I can download or buy to simplify the process?

My cable internet connection gives me the option of building an FTP homepage for free but I'm not sure where to start. When I downloaded the necessary tool it opens up with two vertical columns one says Local File System which shows the contents of my hard drive and the other says No Host. I...

Does anybody know why liquor isn't labeled with nutrition facts like everything else in the grocery store? I've been cutting calories and the only way I was able to find out how many calories were in a can of beer was online and even then I had to break out a calculator(49 calories in...

This feels like a silly question but I can't figure out how to change my name as it shows up in the from column. When I first signed up I used a nickname and I've been told that at first glance it looks like spam and I can't figure out how to change it. thx

A couple of weeks ago RayKk started the Miles of Boredom tour. He claimed that Prisoner of War (XBox) was so bad that he would ship it to anyone who was willing to post a review and keep the chain alive by paying to ship it to the next in line. The graphics are uninspiring, at best they would...

I'm having this flashback of a Jackson 5 video that featured whips, chains, and a man in a gimp costume. Does anybody remember the title to that song?

I just moved into my first house (happy happy joy joy) and it came with this attic TV antenna connected thru these four pronged circular jacks (::) that are in every room. At Radio Shack they didn't have anything that would connect directly to the jack so I got a $2 converter which has two...

My computer, an HP Pavillion with an Athalon processor and 128mb of ram must be rebooted several times a day because the system resources get so clogged that it crashes. Sometimes I get the following message after which the thing freezes up and I have to push the power button to get it restarted.

I'm starting to have problems with my 3+ year old HK avr-75. I use stereo mode while watching TV or listening to music. About a week ago I started hearing static and popping sounds and then stereo mode just stopped working. All of the wiring seems to be as it should but no more stereo. I...
